Mb is not the same as MB. One means Megabit, and the other means Megabyte, same thing for Kb and KB(Except Kilo instead of Mega). The difference is, simply put, one is a million 0's and the other is a million groups of 8 0's.
- Code: Select all
Kb = 0 x 1,000,000
KB = 00000000 x 1,000,000
Work out your speed like so;
Line speed in Kb / 8 - 13%
To put that into numerical terms using my line speed;
512 / 8 = 64
64 - 13% = 55.84
So the download speed, in KB, would be 55KB per second.
That is the 'best guess' effort, however I find simply moving the decimal point one place works better;
512Kb becomes 51.2KB, 1024Kb becomes 102.4KB, and so on.
The 13% is lost in transit due to prtocols such as TCP and ATM.
So, now you have background, you can answer your own question;
Line speed = 100000Kb
100000 / 8 = 12500
12500 - 13% = 10875
Which gives us a total speed of 10Mb.
(Again, moving the decimal point works fine.)
